Too much grease, too much corn syrup, too many other additives that are controlled or even downright illegal elsewhere for health reasons, too few consequences for companies that violate what little regulation there is, and so on. Depending on what State we're talking about, some have the same problems as the British, others have found new and interesting ways to ruin the concept of food, such as the unholy "deep fried pound of butter"... In short, American food will either kill you slowly if you're lucky, or quickly if you aren't.
Couple of things, but mostly it's that American cooking is way too varied with super whacky combinations, and with very poor calorie to nutritient to meal ratios, A ship board diet is usually fairly limited, and very efficient in the calorie to nutrient to meal ratio. Why British cooking, which is literally the optimy of shipboard food in that its 90% unprocessed base ingredients and 10% salt, a preservative, is banned is beyond me.
